To be a teacher is a great vocation.
It takes sincere dedication, love for education and a respect for your students that goes beyond any personal opinion or choices.
I see my son’s pre-school educators now and I want to hug them every day for all that they give him – warmth, space to learn and grow and really, when we think about it – the world, because they are teaching them all about it.
And not only do they love their job but you can tell that they really love the kids too.
One elementary school teacher from Oklahoma has done something amazing to remember the kids that she teaches, before saying goodbye to them as they move onto a new class.
Chris-ShaRee Castlebury bought a plain white dress and allowed all of her first-grade students to draw pictures, write messages and even sign their names on it.
She then wore the dress on the last day of school as a tribute to all the little ones!
She says of her idea;
“I hope each year my kids always know how loved and cherished they are by me…they become part of my family without even realizing how much they touch me on an hourly basis”.
Isn’t it just brilliant – those kids won’t forget their treasured teacher Chris in a hurry!
